How to Burn an Image & print a tshirt

[@gtwrmw1978]

This guy is a true pro. I bought my first screen printing equipment from Bob in 2000, through his old homecashbusiness website. I drove from West L.A. to Bob's workplace in the Inland Empire and piled all the gear into the back seat of my old VW Fox. He was a very kind man who patiently showed me how everything went together. Within a few days I was selling shirts on ebay. This gentleman knows what he's talking about, and his videos are a great resource. Thanks, Bob.

[@BobMongiello]

well thank you and next time you are in California stop by for the best pizza you ever had !

[@brianbierig1593]

This was a very thorough tutorial for people like me who are just starting out. No long stories about your struggles in screen printing - just a simple demo on how to do it on a budget. Thank you.

[@MetalShopVlogs]

I bought a screen printer from Bob many years ago. It was a single station kinda like the one he uses in this video but it had a metal frame, and a second palette to cure the shirt on with the attached flash drier. I had a blast with it! I used it for at least 10 years and actually sold it last year when I got a Riley Hopkins. I actual wish I would have kept it now that its gone :-( I made thousands of shirts on it for my shop. You Rock Bob!!

[@xspandingminds1478]

[@mikeiarocci7271]

Hey Bob, Your videos are great. I have worked in the screen printing industry for a while however I have decided to start my own small shop. I have been using your videos a lot! My question is, what is the best type of emulsion to use with the Exposure unit you explained how to build in your tutorials (12" from 500w Halogen Light to Screen) to get the 3 minute exposure time? Thanks a lot! Mike

[@annewhitlock72]

Hi Bob, thanks for the video ! Can you clarify what light you used for the screen? I would appreciate your advice. Special bulbs used?? Have an awesome day - With Gratitude Anne

[@BobMongiello]

500 watt halogen light and just small light off to the side while you work

[@chasitymorrow5703]

[@Muriclei]

Hello , please , what is the lamp used and the time for exposure ? Grato , Paul .

[@primecast9996]

that is a 500 watt halogen lamp on a wood homemade bracket with a piece of wood on it.

[@154g]

Does it matter which side is up when washing it off?

[@maxmalcomb]

What kind of light bulb is that again? I was going to buy a UVB bulb and put it in a shop lamp and expose that way. Would that work?

[@BobMongiello]

500 watt halogen light

[@desimcgill]

thanks Bob. How long do you dry the screen for?

[@BobMongiello]

with emulsion on it about 30 minutes

[@Tylacancut]

Do you make your own silk screens if not where do you buy them from?

[@BobMongiello]

I buy them for $15.00 each any screen print supplier should have them

[@MacsWraps]

Thanks for the clipboard trick. I will be testing the emulsion washout time that way. Very helpful info. Checked out your flash dryer if I get into two or more colors.

[@riversofzion5042]

[@loveurbody4ever]

[@scottbrown8453]

[@BobMongiello]

I apologies for my late response , I was unaware of hundreds of questions that were asked over the years , i hope evrything worked out for you

[@oax2919]

You think Chromaline PC 700 is a good emulsion for beginners? Thank you :)

[@BobMongiello]

[@antoguedes]

Thank you for all the information, Bob.

[@thebudgetgamer]

This is the best video on the subject I have ever seen

[@balkster]

Hi Bob,I noticed different emulsion colors and some with additives. What emulsion brand do you recommend for beginners and best results? Thanks Don

[@BobMongiello]

SAATI America [phone] east coast [phone] Saati west coast North Carolina [phone] I get my emulsion from saati america it is called “PV series" and it is pink pre mixed emulsion

[@balkster]

[@howardgoldstein1088]

Hi Bob. Where did you get the piece of glass that you lay on top of the screen?

[@BobMongiello]

go to any commercial glass place they sell it

[@alexcruz2032]

Using 300w halogen lamp, how long it will take the exposure to be burn?

[@BobMongiello]

I don't know you should use a 500 watt

[@BoldReflections]

I now this video was done six years ago ... BUT I have a question (simple but relevant) that I hope the GURU will answer. I have a 15 (fifteen) watt LED (frosted cover) fixture in my bathroom that would be mostly blocked by closed shower curtain ... would it be safe to expose emulsion AND / OR washout emulsion with this “light” on? Please advise. As far as watching your videos - no further comment is needed in my opinion.See my one word opinion ☝️ above!

[@BobMongiello]

It is trial and error , you will find what works best for you :)

[@RaquelMirandaRamirez]

You mentioned you use vellum paper and that would make the timeframe for exposure to light less. How do we know exactly how much less and when to remove it from light? Thank you.

[@BobMongiello]

Raquel Miranda Ramirez Hi Raquel actual it is a little longet by 30 seconds up to one minute for velum . After you do this once or twice you'll get a feel for it . Call me anytime for help . 919 525 7911. Bob

[@lisagriffin8898]

Bob Mongiello I cant wait to try your technique ! I ruined 2 screens trying to do it in one hit, I know I can do what you demonstrated, I over coated my first attempt... It came out so great, till wash out, the lettering was perfect, but the design, didn't come out, only congealed, then bubbled up blistered and pealed off it is a good thing I don't give up.

[@aleks4307]

is exposure process not supposed to be light contained, and vacuum sealed?

[@badangtv4713]

I really enjoy watching your videos bob.... it is my dream to have a business like this at my home town in the Philippines.. thanks bob for some tips or idea you shared with us.. may Allah Bless you....

[@daarajimedia.8861]

[@BobMongiello]

[@Icemane1995]

What glue do you use when making your frames?

[@BobMongiello]

+Timothy Rowan I do not make my own frames they are to cheap to buy :)

[@Icemane1995]

How much would you pay for frames where you are from. I live in Australia and it cost like $60 a frame which is a lot to me

[@xspandingminds1478]

+Bob Mongiello I went to check on prices of materials. The representative told me that the aluminum frames would save more money, being I'm just starting printing. Do you recommend those?

[@BobMongiello]

Try gold frames they sell aluminum really cheap and they would be cheaper to ship.

[@kentstevens3769]

[@BobMongiello]

30 minutes

[@photomatedigitalportraitst6285]

[@CarolinaisCatholic]

I wish I had found your video about an hour ago before messing up my first try lol Thank you for your tutorial!

[@BobMongiello]

you are welcome and don't worry you will mess up again it is part of the learning process

[@Robby6776]

Instead of using the black shirt to push the screen up to the glass. Couldn't you use another piece of glass and maybe 4 wood blocks measured the thickness from the bottom of the frame to the screen painted black instead?

[@BobMongiello]

You can use a foam pad with black cover keep it soft ok

[@indiandude3905]

i can't expose motion on my frame ...when i am try to expose i can't do that.its all time blank

[@BobMongiello]

call me anytime and ill help you out

[@percydemesa7224]

bob u are great teacher for me tks.

[@cudabang5]

why do my screen emulsion wash off wen rinse?

[@BobMongiello]

did you use a 500 watt halogen light ? at 12 inches away ?

[@kahlilblu]

yeah overtime i try to wash my image it out all of my emulsion just washes away

[@brycemorigeau4791]

+NATION 95s most likely burned the logo on the emulsion to long. or when you applied the emulsion make sure it drys in a dark area or the light will weaken the emulsion

[@BobMongiello]

this could be a few different things call me and I'll walk you through it

[@Cirisbuilds]

Bob Mongiello same thing keeps happening to me , the emulsion just washes right out . I did buy the emulsion from someone and it has been opened and kept in a garage for more than 3months . Does that mean the emulsion is too old?

[@sureshlingabathina]

You are looking handsome at your age, great info too, excellent

[@Fullrusher]

Hi sir can the spray tac be any spray adhesive? Like the ones they sell at staples ?

[@BobMongiello]

no art spray adhesive for m staples will not work go to a silk screen supply place they have the right stuff

[@Fullrusher]

@@BobMongiello I used it it does work lol

[@BobMongiello]

@@Fullrusher You will find that the real stuff is easier to work with but good for you !

[@Fullrusher]

@@BobMongiello I get yah , but I hardly get orders on top of that. ima failure at screen printing may shut it down soon just because

[@BobMongiello]

@@Fullrusher well nothing is a failure in life you have learned a lot and will take it with you to the next venture !
